Cameras

Factory Farmed by SFLTV I’m a firm believer in putting yourself under pressure as much as possible as a filmmaker. It’s fine knocking up detailed storyboards in your own time, shooting tests at weekends, in your own time, endlessly tweaking color correction, in your own time. But production just isn’t like that most of the time. It’s pressured, changeable and you ned to be able to adapt to whatever gets thrown at you, quickly...Read More

AJA KI PRO MINI – ON MY DESK

Cameras

One of the best parts of SXSW honestly, was the food. It seemed like everywhere we went there was something tasty to eat. We ended up sneaking into the CNN lounge for three of the four days we were there. This gave us a chance to actually sit down and meet some really cool people. We were lucky enough to hit up Internet Celebrity Julia Allison and the first “video blogger” Steve Garfield for...Read More

Vimeo & Nikon Party At SXSW 2011. Eclectic Method.

Cameras

We have been working our tail off this past year trying to get WOC some recognition. Our intention was to hit SXSW as a vacation. We headed down to Austin to chill out. Chilling for us means bringing only two cameras and tackling only one assignment. We wanted to shoot a short documentary on the viability of film festivals in the age of Vimeo and You Tube.
